Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Jalen Thompson at the 131st overall pick, roughly 171 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Howell to cover a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
They liked Joshua Josephs enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 1, Pick 23. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at slot 56 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Circle this one: Caleb Banks at No. 87 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jalen Thompson
Value said wait; Jalen Thompson in pick No. 131 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cashius Howell
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Cashius Howell in the 163rd pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keaten Wade this early at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xavier Scott
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Scott at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
